Duos, Map Rotation And A New Event Coming To Apex Legends
Duos, map rotation and a new Bloodhound event called The Old Ways are coming to Apex Legends on the 7th of April. The Old Ways Lore Event will be time limited and run from April 7 to 21.
Duos And Map Rotation
Duos will now run alongside Trios in Apex Legends matchmaking. This is good news for folks who were struggling to get a third team mate in Respawn’s hero battle royale shooter. Hopefully at some stage down the road Respawn will also bring back the solos mode. But from April 7, at least fans of Apex Legends will have the another option to go with the standard trios mode that has been the games mainstay from the get go.
Map rotation will also become a permanent fixture going forward. Players will now be able to battle it out on both Kings Canyon and the Worlds Edge maps. Both maps have their pros and cons but having both playable will add a bit of verity to matchmaking.
The Old Ways
The Old Ways Lore Event will focus around Bloodhound and will feature the following.
- New Town Takeover – Bloodhound’s Trials
- The Old Ways Exclusive Event Prize Track
- Direct Purchase Shop
New Town Takeover – Bloodhound’s Trials
You will battle against a hoard of prowlers in this trial with a chance to claim some high tier loot. The nest of prowlers can be found in the northwest corner of The Worlds Edge map. But make sure to watch your back as you explore because other player may take this chance to wipe you out as you attempt to get your hands on that precious loot.
The Old Ways Exclusive Event Prize Track
This will see player complete daily challenges to earn exclusive cosmetics. The cosmetics are inspired by The Old Ways digital short which you can check out in the video below. The ten minute short is excellent, and absolutely well worth a watch.
Direct Purchase Shop
The Direct Purchase Shop will have the new event limited cosmetics. The shop will also contain new exclusive skins and also a mix of legendary and rare skins inspired by the The Old Ways digital short. We will also see a return of the Legendary Hunt Skins. All eight of the Legendary Hunt Skins will be on offer for direct purchase. Follow the link here to check out the prices and dates for when the new skins and cosmetics drop as well as all the rewards from the all-new Prize Track.
Bloodhound is my favourite hero in Apex Legends. The Old Ways Lore Event sounds like a blast and the cosmetics and skins inspired by the digital short look excellent. Adding duos and map rotation to matchmaking is long overdue in my opinion but thankfully it’s finally here.
If you play Apex Legends please let me know what you make of duos, map rotation and this new event coming in the next update in the comments below.
